I'd suggest looking up (try wikipedia) UTF and UCS encoding, and 
understanding what they mean. All the UTFs are equivalent in their 
expressiveness, they just have different storage and compatibility 
consequences.

Personally, I'd recommend always using UTF-8, simply because it's the 
most common, compatible, and easy to use encoding.
